International representatives

Opportunities, co-operation, requirements

The international markets are becoming increasingly important for Wein-Plus. One of our prime objectives is to develop regional wine guides for all important wine-growing regions, resp. to expand the existing wine guides.

As an international representative of Wein-Plus, you represent Wein-Plus in your area/region. This could be a whole country, or a specific growing area. You are the primary contact for all the interests of Wein-Plus in this region. Our aim is to establish a long-term relationship. Your duties are :

• Communication with producers and relevant associations in the specialist area/region, with the objective of obtaining wine samples for tasting, and organising these.
• Contact with the German importers relevant for your region/area
• Selling advertising space to potential advertising customers in your region

You should fulfil the following requirements:

• You should be a native speaker (written and spoken) of the relevant language in your specialist area/region
• You should be fluent in German or English (written and spoken) for purposes of internal communication)
• (Sales/distribution) experience in the wine industry, and good relationships with the wine scene in your specialist area/region
• Ideally, the international representative will be resident in the specialist area/region.
• Telephone and Internet access (preferably permanent Internet access)

We offer:

• Very interesting commission on all nett sales generated by you, from advertising, samples for tasting, etc. You invoice these amounts to us on a monthly basis.
• As an agent/representative of Wein-Plus you carry Wein-Plus business cards and use a Wein-Plus E-Mail address.
• You have access to the customer data base of Wein-Plus, which will be a tremendous asset in your daily work.
• You utilise Wein-Plus as a back office for the distribution of information, mailings, etc.. In other words, you require no infrastructure other than a telephone and a computer that is connected to the Internet.
• Naturally, you will have free access to all marketing and promotion documentation available on Wein-Plus. If these are not available in the language required, Wein-Plus will have the material translated, and will produce the appropriate materials in the language required.

Depending on the size of the region, we would expect you to spend 10 to 20 hours per week working on this project.
